On May 17, 2006, firefighters responded to a
mobile home fire on Lingering Lane in DeLand. When firefighters arrived
on scene, flames were coming from the rear of the structure and smoke
was coming from the windows. No one was inside the home. Firefighters
made an initial aggressive interior attack and were able to quickly
extinguish the fire. The home is uninhabitable as it was severely
damaged in the fire. Due to the firefighters' quick response, no
adjacent mobile homes were damaged. Engines 41 and 46, Battalion 40 and
DeLand Fire Rescue responded. Firefighters returned to the neighborhood
to distribute smoke detectors to homes needing them.
